Winner, Winner! Porcelain Figure Dinner!

Another Edgar Awards has come and gone. The Hungry Detective has done its usual bad job of prognostication. 4 out 12 is not good, but I did get Best Novel. WooHoo! As for the rest. Oh well.

I am only listing the winners... and congratulations to them! A complete list of nominees and my picks can be found here.

Special thanks to Ms. Weinman's Twitter account. Cheers!
